me too, and i keep the subscriptions current i also run my own one via https://relay.tools which is operated by my friend @cloud fodder not expensive to do and a great way to support a dev/business who is advancing the infrastructure of nostr, and you can configure it to require auth or, like i and others do, whitelist people who i often interact with, some of them their clients automatically try to post to it because it's on my relay list i think there will soon be an automatic capability to allow everyone you follow to be whitelisted automatically, this is great for decentralizing the distribution of events
